I used to be able to enter an URL and go to the web site. Now I have to go through a search engine. This changed on the last update. How do I go back to the ability to enter the URL and go to the web site directly?

Chosen solution

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
